Hormone Therapy
Hormone imbalance happens to both men and women and can have a significant impact on overall health and wellness. Hormones are one of the most important regulatory systems in the body. They function as messengers, interacting with specific target cells and organs to stimulate them into action.
What causes hormone imbalance?
The main causes of hormone imbalance include increasing age, exposure to toxins, medications, and high levels of stress. Many of the products we use on our bodies and foods we choose to eat also play a role in hormone disruption. Bioidentical/iso-molecular hormone therapy helps to re-establish optimal hormone levels, bringing your body back into balance and improving the negative symptoms you are experiencing.
What is Hormone Replacement Therapy?
Traditional hormone replacement therapy consists of synthetic hormone preparations which can increase the risk of heart attack, stroke, prostate cancer and breast cancer. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) has been studied extensively and has been shown to limit the risk of adverse events seen with synthetic hormone replacement therapy. BHRT can improve bone density, reduce the risk of prostate and breast cancer, lower cholesterol, promote weight loss, and reduce blood sugar.
